Nestled between the jagged range of Lofoten Islands is the tiny fishing hamlet of Gravdal with its wild, almost alpine grandeur. Fishing is still the main industry and many small villages with houses built on stilts over the water dot the landscape.

Attractions

The Viking museum - In 1982, a local farmer at Borg dug up some potsherds and soon after the archaeologists arrived. It quickly became clear that this was a major finding.- The farmstead of one of the most powerful chieftains of the Viking era was discovered. Today, an impressive reconstruction of the chieftain's home has been built on the site, just as it looked in the 9th century.
